716817 - Firefox Fullscreen API "Press Esc to leave FullScreen" delay should be shorter and should not mask actual video with black tint

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[bogas04]

Attachment: Comparison between our implementation and Flash's (in youtube)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; rv:12.0a1) Gecko/20120108 Firefox/12.0a1
Build ID: 20120108031024

Steps to reproduce:

Open a HTML5 Video 
Right Click > Fullscreen



Actual results:

Video Appears with this dialog at top and actual video masked with some grey/black tint, interrupting the experience , making it pain in a!2E to go to fullscreen


Expected results:

The dialog should disappear sooner , should be smaller and should not mask the video at all , just like how flash handles it right now

The dialog is an important security feature. 
A webpage could switch to fullscreen and emulate the browser UI.....
I think it's by design that this dialog is more noticeable for the user.

Of course it is important , but it should not distract too much from the actual video , the way flash handles it is superior as it gives the message , it is noticeable , but doesn't distract you from original content too. I am not saying to remove it but to make it much more user friendly and content friendly , right not it shuts ruins the first few seconds of the video telling you something which is common , though important , but not being portrayed in a "pleasing" way

I think there is a small confusion here between "Remember" and "Not remember" scenarios.

For the "Not remember" scenario, I think the current solution is good: A big popup that you can not ignore.

However, for the "Remember" scenario, I think the current solution is not good: A mid-sized popup that stays there for a couple of seconds. A couple of seconds that, let's face it, feel like an eternity. I think the solution should be quite lighter. I propose to apply one or more of the following changes:
1. Reduce the time to less than 1 second
2. Make the message area 1/4th of the current one (well at least on my 1366x768 laptop looks giant)

Please consider this bug again, and either reopen it, or file a more abstract one that does not include a solution in the title.

Kind regards.
